Who will have a better 2017 season? Will it be Jose Altuve or Rougned Odor? Altuve is coming off his second career batting title, while Odor had a breakout season for the Rangers.
Altuve finished third in the MVP voting last season, hitting .338/.396/.531 with 30 stolen bases, 24 home runs and 96 RBIs. He also led the league in hits for the third straight season.
Odor struggled with strikeouts (135) in 2016 and walked only 19 times, while hitting a slash of .271/.296/.502 with 33 home runs and 88 RBIs. He will need to improve his plate discipline if he wants to have a better season than Altuve.
